Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Newark, OH
Air duct cleaning in Newark, OH costs between $330 and $610 for most homes, depending on system size, duct condition, and the age of the house. What makes Newark different from surrounding towns is the housing stock: many homes here were built before forced-air HVAC became standard, so the ductwork was added later, often routed through tight, awkward spaces that require patience and the right equipment. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning handles these older Newark systems every week, and we give you a written price before any work starts. Call (323) 918-4345 if you’d like a specific number for your home.
Why Newark Homes Are Different
Newark’s housing stock runs older than most of Licking County. A large share of homes in the North End and downtown neighborhoods were built before 1940, originally warmed by radiators or floor registers tied to gravity furnaces. When central air arrived decades later, contractors had to retrofit ductwork into basements and closets that were never designed for it. The result is trunk lines with abrupt turns, narrow return chases, and long flex runs through unheated crawl spaces. That matters for cleaning because standard-size tools do not always reach the far ends of these systems.
The climate adds a second layer. Newark gets muggy summers and cold winters, which means HVAC systems run a lot. In the summer, condensation can form inside ductwork in unfinished basements, which turns accumulated dust into a sticky film that clings to the duct walls. In the winter, the same ducts carry heated air through cool spaces, and the temperature swings can loosen debris and pull it back into the living areas. Homes with pets, older windows, or a lot of foot traffic from kids tend to load up faster. We plan each Newark job around these realities, not around a generic checklist.
Our Main Newark Services
Most Newark homeowners call us about one of two things: cleaning the main HVAC duct runs, or clearing the dryer vent line that runs from the laundry room to the outside. Both have their own Newark page, so you can get into the specifics there. Here’s the short version of each.
Air Duct Cleaning in Newark
Our air duct cleaning in Newark covers the supply and return trunk lines, the branch runs to each room, and the return air cavities where dust tends to collect. In older Newark homes, we typically find heavy buildup near the return grates and in the boots where the ducts meet the floor registers. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment sized to reach through long horizontal runs, even when the ductwork bends more than modern systems do. Every job ends with a walkthrough and a photo of the clean-up. The full service details and pricing are on the dedicated page here: Air Duct Cleaning in Newark.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Newark
Newark laundry rooms are often tucked into basements or first-floor utility closets, which means the dryer vent pipe can run a surprising distance before it reaches the exterior wall. The longer and more angled that run is, the more lint it traps. We clean the full length of the vent, from behind the dryer to the termination point outside, and we remove the heavy lint mat that commonly builds at the exterior hood. It is quieter work than you might expect, and we keep shoe covers and drop cloths between our gear and your floors. Read the step-by-step details and local pricing here: Dryer Vent Cleaning in Newark.
